Green Corporate PPA Quick Guide for Industrials

Green Corporate PPA Quick Guide for Industrials

February 08, 2023

Procurement of green energy is at the top of the agenda for many industrials, who are particularly impacted by soaring energy costs and required to meet ambitious ESG and decarbonisation goals. ‘Green’ PPAs can help industrials address these challenges, providing relative long term security of supply, price capture and green credentials.  These are often high value contracts which operate within a highly regulated energy sector, which is outside of the industrials’ core activities/area of expertise.
A successful PPA project that can execute, build and deliver power within your timescales requires careful developer/project selection and considered PPA structuring at an early stage. We have a leading global practice in this space. Simon Davies has recently prepared the below ‘Green Corporate PPA Quick Guide for Industrials’ which sets out a number of key issues to consider when procuring a partner for a green PPA.
I would highly encourage you to share this guide with your clients and initiate conversations with them, along with Simon where appropriate.
